• Title: Cross-Spectral Attention for Unsupervised RGB-IR Face Verification and Person Re-identification
• Authors: Kshitij Nikhal, Cedric Nimpa Fondje, Benjamin S. Riggan,
• Abstract summary: Cross-spectral biometrics, such as matching imagery of faces or persons from visible (RGB) and infrared (IR) bands, have rapidly advanced over the last decade. We propose a novel unsupervised cross-spectral framework that combines (1) a new pseudo triplet loss with cross-spectral voting, (2) a new cross-spectral attention network leveraging multiple subspaces, and (3) structured sparsity to perform more discriminative cross-spectral clustering.

• Abstract: Cross-spectral biometrics, such as matching imagery of faces or persons from visible (RGB) and infrared (IR) bands, have rapidly advanced over the last decade due to increasing sensitivity, size, quality, and ubiquity of IR focal plane arrays and enhanced analytics beyond the visible spectrum. Current techniques for mitigating large spectral disparities between RGB and IR imagery often include learning a discriminative common subspace by exploiting precisely curated data acquired from multiple spectra. Although there are challenges with determining robust architectures for extracting common information, a critical limitation for supervised methods is poor scalability in terms of acquiring labeled data. Therefore, we propose a novel unsupervised cross-spectral framework that combines (1) a new pseudo triplet loss with cross-spectral voting, (2) a new cross-spectral attention network leveraging multiple subspaces, and (3) structured sparsity to perform more discriminative cross-spectral clustering. We extensively compare our proposed RGB-IR biometric learning framework (and its individual components) with recent and previous state-of-the-art models on two challenging benchmark datasets: DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory Visible-Thermal Face Dataset (ARL-VTF) and RegDB person re-identification dataset, and, in some cases, achieve performance superior to completely supervised methods.

  We propose a novel Hierarchical Multi-Modal Enhancement Network (HMMEN) that integrates RGB and IR data for robust and accurate TL detection. Our method introduces two key components: (1) a Mutual Multi-Modal Enhanced Block (MMEB), which fuses and enhances hierarchical RGB and IR feature maps in a coarse-to-fine manner, and (2) a Feature Alignment Block (FAB) that corrects misalignments between decoder outputs and IR feature maps by leveraging deformable convolutions.

  Multispectral object detection, utilizing RGB and TIR (thermal infrared) modalities, is widely recognized as a challenging task.

We introduce an efficient and easily deployable multispectral object detection framework that can seamlessly optimize high-performing single-modality models.

  This study addresses the issue of fusing infrared and visible images that appear differently for object detection. Previous approaches discover commons underlying the two modalities and fuse upon the common space either by iterative optimization or deep networks.
